If one word could come to Aether's mind right now… it was Aquarium.
In his previous life, he had visited one. A place where the mysteries of the ocean were brought to land. Where vibrant schools of fish swam behind thick glass walls, where coral reefs and graceful rays glided in simulated tides, and jellyfish floated like drifting stars.
He remembered being captivated—staring for hours at the hypnotic colours and new creatures.
But this?
This was beyond comparison.
"Wow..." Aether muttered again, breathless, his voice barely escaping his lips. Words failed him. The scene before him was beyond anything he had ever imagined.
He stood in front of a fully transparent wall—no, not just the wall—the entire room was transparent, the floor, the ceiling, the sides. The structure felt almost like it was floating inside the ocean itself.
From every angle, he was surrounded by the raw, majestic beauty of the deep sea.
The view was nothing short of breathtaking.
